Anyone else think 'Employee if the month' and other public shout outs are demoralizing?

Question

It just gives another  way for the friends of managers  as well as thoes who are loud and attention seeking to gain further praise. Never goes to  those who are unrecognized and really deserve it.

This is such a hard issue. By definition, calling anyone out is leaving certain people out. However, the intention behind these programs is good and meant to recognize behavior that companies and managers and employers want to encourage. That said, I do think you're probably right that there are all these unintentional consequences....

I think the managers should be wise to know who’s actually hard working, and who’s just loud and drawing attention. If they aren’t, maybe it’s not worth it to work there.
